    Extra:A congratulations(HE)

    “Sister, wait for me, I’ll be right back.” Qiu Ze didn’t want to talk about those things in front of Qiu Yu, who had just woken up, so he turned to Nan Qing and said, “Let’s talk.”

    Since he couldn’t let go, he’d make him give up on himself, Nan Qing thought to himself.

    Nan Qing was still in the joy of rediscovering him, and when he heard this, he was slightly stunned, but quickly nodded. He followed behind Qiu Ze, his heart full of doubts and unease. Qiu Ze’s actions made him feel a trace of unease.

    Qiu Yu’s complexion was much better, she smiled slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes: “Don’t worry about me, Xiao Ze, you guys have a good talk.” Qiu Yu looked at Qiu Ze’s back, a trace of heartache flashing in her eyes. She didn’t know what had happened to Qiu Ze, but it must have been hard.

    Qiu Ze brought Nan Qing outside the room. He kept his head down the whole time, enduring the pain in his heart as he told everything he had done. His voice was very soft, but every word was like cutting his own heart.

    But he pretended to be calm and said, “So, you don’t understand me, that’s why you said you liked me. The way you like me is all an act…”

    “Nan Qing, do you know? I’ve actually been lying to you all along.” Qiu Ze’s voice trembled slightly. He didn’t dare to look up at Nan Qing, afraid of seeing the disappointment in his eyes.

    Nan Qing’s heart sank abruptly, he held Qiu Ze’s hand tightly, his voice with a trace of urgency: “Xiao Ze, what are you talking about?”

    Qiu Ze took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: “The me you know, the me you like, is actually just a disguise. I’m not as good as you think…” He was simply terrible, not worthy of sympathy or forgiveness.

    Nan Qing’s heart ached. He didn’t know what the boy was saying. He held Qiu Ze’s hand tightly, his voice with a trace of firmness: “Xiao Ze, I don’t believe it. I know what kind of person you are the best.”

    Qiu Ze’s eyes turned red again. He raised his head, his eyes meeting Nan Qing’s, his voice with a trace of choking: “I knew it would be like this.”

    “Don’t follow me! I’m begging you, give each other some time…” He knew it would be like this. Knowing this, why did he always have hope again and again, and then be disappointed again…

    Qiu Ze endured the tears, gritted his teeth and turned to walk into the darkness, until his figure disappeared from the man’s sight.

    Nan Qing stared blankly at his empty hand, and for a moment he was at a loss. His eyes were full of confusion and pain, as if everything just now was a dream.

    He stood there as if he had been frozen, his body trembling slightly, his heart filled with unspeakable complex emotions.

    “Xiao Ze…” Nan Qing murmured in a low voice, his voice with a trace of choking. A trace of pain flashed in his eyes. How he wished all of this was just a dream. How he wished Qiu Ze could return to his side and tell him it was just a joke.

    Qiu Ze’s words kept replaying in Nan Qing’s mind, his voice, his eyes, every move he made, were deeply engraved in his heart.

    He knew he couldn’t easily forget Qiu Ze, nor could he easily let go of this relationship, so he reacted and immediately chased after him, but the person was already gone.

    He came out of it dejectedly, his steps a little weak, as if he had lost his center of gravity.

    His eyes stared blankly ahead, his heart full of loss and unwillingness. After knowing the truth, he didn’t blame the boy at all. He was just confused and didn’t know what to do for a while.

    He lowered his head, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. He wanted to tell him that he could understand him and didn’t blame him, as long as he was willing to return to his side…

    But the world was so big, finding Qiu Ze was undoubtedly as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

    Nan Qing suddenly thought of something, he raised his head sharply, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes, and made a decision: No matter what, he had to bring him back, this time he couldn’t give up on him again.

    Half a month later, Nan Qing woke up. Nan Qing was not able to come to him, but went abroad alone. He remembered that he had promised Qiu Ze that they would go abroad to get married after the apocalypse ended.

    “Shen Xuanmo, Brother Qiu Ze is very good, he didn’t do anything, I was willing…” Nan Qing was extremely sad after learning that the two were missing.

    He knew that his brother might be looking for Brother Qiu Ze, and also knew that he might have unintentionally brought misunderstanding to his brother and them, so he blamed himself very much.

    Shen Xuanmo was slightly stunned when he heard Nan Qing’s words. He raised his head, with a trace of helplessness in his eyes. He knew that Nan Qing’s little head was going to think wildly again.

    Shen Xuanmo had no choice but to comfort him, saying that when everything was fine, he would take him to see Nan Qing and them, believing that Nan Qing would be able to get his wish at that time.

    He gently held Nan Qing’s hand, his voice with a trace of tenderness: “Nan Qing, don’t worry, your brother knows, and Qiu Ze knows too.” It’s just that some things need them to slowly figure out by themselves.

    Because he was worried that something might happen to the two of them, Shen Xuanmo had been sending people to look for them, but they had found nothing. It wasn’t until two years later that they received a letter from Nan Qing.

    Nan Qing was very excited. Shen Xuanmo smiled slightly and took Nan Qing’s shoulders: “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to see him.”

    Nan Qing went to all the places that Qiu Ze had mentioned unintentionally before, but he didn’t find him, as if he was deliberately hiding from him, but God didn’t disappoint him, and he finally found him.

    Qiu Ze settled down in a beautiful small town abroad with her sister. Although life was plain, it was full of warmth. Although he occasionally couldn’t help but think of someone.

    Qiu Yu’s body had completely recovered, and she also found her destined person in a chance encounter. Now only Qiu Ze was left, bored every day watering flowers and feeding cats, almost doing everything he wanted to do before.

    When he was free, he would always think of Nan Qing’s stern face, and then thinking about it, one day that person appeared in front of him as if he had heard his heart.

    On this day, Qiu Ze was really bored and decided to go out for a walk. However, when he passed through a busy street and walked into the crowd, suddenly, his steps stopped.

    In the crowd, he saw those eyes—those eyes that had appeared in his dreams countless times. His heart beat faster, almost jumping out of his throat.

    At the moment when the two eyes met, the air stopped flowing, leaving only two beating hearts. It had only been two years, but it seemed like a long time, and it seemed like it was just yesterday.

    Nan Qing’s face was still the same, but there was a hint of maturity and firmness in his eyes. Qiu Ze’s hair was a little longer, and there was more calmness in his eyes.

    “Nan… Nan Qing?” In the end, Qiu Ze couldn’t help but break the silence first. His voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

    Qiu Ze’s heart trembled. He couldn’t believe that Nan Qing would really appear here. His first reaction was to escape, and he turned around and wanted to run away.

    But Nan Qing seemed to have expected his reaction, quietly following behind him, following him unhurriedly, as if he had recognized him and couldn’t get rid of him no matter what.

    It wasn’t until he closed the door that Qiu Ze dared to breathe heavily. He quietly glanced outside and saw that no one was there, thinking that he was already gone, and couldn’t help but feel a little lost.

    However, when he opened the door, there was a bunch of flowers and a letter at the door. The letter expressed his love and stated that he would wait until the day Qiu Ze was willing to face their relationship.

    In the days that followed, Nan Qing would put things in place before he got up every day, and then hide in the corner and silently watch him.

    But before he could successfully win him back, Shen Xuanmo and Nan Qing came to see him. Nan Qing’s little face was rounder and cuter. Knowing that he was doing well by Shen Xuanmo’s side, he was relieved, so he refused the proposal to go back together.

    He had not yet been forgiven by Qiu Ze, this time he would firmly choose him… even if the boy never wanted to face him, it didn’t matter.

    “Why are you leaving?” Qiu Ze rubbed his eyes and looked at the sneaky Nan Qing and said, now it was winter, and the morning was freezing, he couldn’t bear it and said: “You are not cold, I am cold, come in!”

    Nan Qing stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in surprise and followed Qiu Ze into the house.

    The house was warm, which was in stark contrast to the cold outside. Nan Qing’s hands were red from the cold, but at this moment his heart was warm.

    “Xiao Ze… Don’t you blame me anymore?” Nan Qing said a little awkwardly.

    Qiu Ze took out a hand warmer from the cabinet, plugged it in, waited for a while and handed it to Nan Qing: “Take it, warm your hands, you are so stupid!” Nan Qing was overjoyed and happily wanted to hug Qiu Ze.

    “Xiao Ze, have you made up your mind?” The two had been reconciled for almost a month, and one day Qiu Ze suddenly decided to return to China.

    “Yes, I’m going to be neighbors with Nan Qing.” Nan Qing accompanied him and did everything again. Now his sister no longer needed him, and he had only this one thing left to complete.

    “Okay, wherever you go, I will go.” Nan Qing hugged his waist, kissed him, and said dotingly.
